Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!

This year we are able to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students who qualify for free and reduced priced meals, thanks to the continued support of federal funding. Full pay students will pay for both breakfast and lunch this year. please see the School Meal Cost section for more information. 

Food Services

LEARN Regional Educational Service Center administers four magnet schools in Connecticut and believes it is important to provide a high-quality Food Service Program at each of our schools.

Children who eat well-balanced meals and are physically healthy are more likely to learn in the classroom.  The link between good nutrition and good education is clearly demonstrated by better attendance, higher test scores, and fewer behavioral problems in school. Click here to read LEARN's full Student Nutrition and Physical Activity: Student Wellness Policy (#6118).


The schools LEARN currently provides food service are:

Marine Science Magnet High School
Regional Multicultural Magnet School
The Friendship School
